If I Was

If i was a sailor i would sail you out to sea

Take you across the ocean, ask you to marry me

Oh if i was sailor i would sail you home to me

And if i was a soldier i would march to war for you

I'd face every bullet and cannonball that flew

Oh if i was a soldier i would wage a war for you

And if i was a jailer i would lock you away

Then i'd have the key to see you each and every day

Oh if i was a jailer i would still have you today

And if i was a rich man i'd buy you flowers every day

But i am a poor man so i'll pick them on the way

Oh if i was a rich man i would pay to make you to stay.

I've wasted so much time

Writing songs and playing on my guitar

I've wasted so much love

Now i wish i'd never learnt to play a note.

And if i had an aeroplane then i'd fly you away

Maybe we go to rome or paris for the day

Oh if i had an aeroplane then i'd whisk you away

And if i was a betting man i'd bet you love me too

I'd bet everything i had for the chance to be with you

Oh if i was a betting man my odds are 9-2.

I've wasted so much time

Writing songs and playing on my guitar

I've wasted so much love

Now i wish i'd never learnt to play a note

Yeah i wish i'd never learnt to play a note

Oh i wish i'd never learnt to play a note.

I've wasted so much time

Writing songs and playing on my guitar

I've wasted so much love

Oh i wish i'd never learnt to play a note.

And if i was a writer i would write the book on you

I'd tell them all the stories of the things we used to do

Oh if i was a writer i would write the book on you

And if i was a painter i'd paint portraits of you

Hang them in the galleries like all good painter do

Oh if i was a painter i'd paint potraits of you.

I've wasted so much time

Writing songs and playing on my guitar

I've wasted so much love

Now i wish i'd never learnt to play a note

Yeah i wish i'd never learnt to play a note

Oh i wish i'd never learnt to play a note.
